Well, now I start a new journal section. It happens about every month (on average). So I can only talk about personal things and things that deal with me alone. It’ll be tough, but I’ll do my best.

I was extremely bored today. I started writing Autumn IQX2, but first will have to copy Autumn IQX onto paper in a readable format. That will take 8 papers – 16 pages, which is about 530 lines of calculator code. It’s one of the longest programs I have written. And that is just the shell of Autumn IQX. It doesn’t include the dll files and other exe files it takes to actually make it work. Then I’ll have to re-read and re-learn and re-define some variables, techniques, and code efficiency. Plus add comments. I could also write it in C++, but I’d have to learn to program graphics first.

So, I gave up on that for today after 2 pages, some IQX2 comments, and a desire to redesign the desktop of the program.

I started to whittle a canoe out of a cedar block from the back yard, but my interest was soon diverted to chores. Then I noticed a book that we’ve had in our family for a long time, but I’ve never read it.

it is called Rhinoceros Success. A type of self-motivation book. I read it (120+ pages) in about 2 hours – the quickest I’ve ever read a book. I liked it and decided to do what it says. I basically have to push the unimportant things in life aside and push forward to make money and succeed. Tomorrow I don’t work until 4:00, so I have time to bop around town and make more fliers for lawn mowing. I also want to explore more of the town.

Last time I passed out fliers, I found some houses that I had never noticed or seen before. I’m gonna check them out, and possibly stop by Foster Properties and see if they have anything for rent.

I’ve wanted to do a lot lately, but always find something to do too, or get sidetracked.

I’ve also got to do the payroll tomorrow morning. Hopefully they didn’t do it today while I wasn’t there. I’ll see though.

That’s all for tonight. Laterz.

  • Craving: Macaroni & Cheese
  • Mood: Energetic / Motivated
  • Thought: “Hmm…I can be successful…if I give up on my friends, and only focus on success…Is it worth it?”
  • Quote: “Money talks, mine says ‘Goodbye.'” – Checkbook quote

I'm Neo, creator of the-spot.net. This journal is a digital form of the paperback journal that I kept each day from December 21, 2002 until March 23, 2003. It details my life experiences during those three months: the transition from college sophomore to adult, interactions with my parents, and general life after leaving the private college on-campus "bubble". These days I'm much better now, and living on my own. I haven't talked to my parents since May 2005 when my brother graduated high school.
